Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to 1.5 million Americans in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan, effective Monday, in response to Trump’s trade war.

The measure will generate CA$300,000-400,000 daily to support Ontario workers and businesses, adding about CA$100 monthly to affected American bills.

Ford threatened further increases or complete shutoff if the US escalates, despite Trump’s one-month tariff reprieve.

This action supplements Canada’s CA$30 billion in federal retaliatory tariffs on various American products.

    I guess Bookchin would be a good start. And then some western-compatible Zen, like Peter Ralston. Be sure to trace that stuff back also through your own culture because none has really forgotten it, it’s just been suppressed, before you go all “grass is greener on the other side” and try, often in vain, to adopt foreign forms while you could just as well realise what you already have and put fuel on that ember.
